About
Kerry Krauss is a pioneering educator and engineer whose work centers on expanding access to technical education through remote and distance learning technologies. His primary research focuses on automation, robotics, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), with a particular emphasis on developing internet-based laboratory environments that allow students to engage with real industrial equipment from anywhere in the world. His most cited work, "A Remote Access Robotics And PLC Laboratory For Distance Learning Program" (2020), describes a groundbreaking remote-control automation lab created at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU). This system, integrating a robot and PLC unit, was designed to respond to the growing reliance on internet-based technologies in both industry and education, enabling hands-on learning for students who lack physical access to expensive lab facilities. Though his citation count is modest, Krauss’s contributions are significant for their practical impact on broadening STEM participation, particularly at historically Black colleges and universities. His work exemplifies how innovative engineering can democratize technical training, making him a key figure in the evolution of distance learning for automation and robotics.
